I started a zfs scrub operation over 10 hours ago, and it doesn't seem to be making any progress:

# zpool status
  pool: foo
 state: ONLINE
 scan: scrub in progress since Sat Nov 26 00:11:38 2011
    1 scanned out of 1.58T at 1/s, 481199724h39m to go
    0 repaired, 0.00% done
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        foo         ONLINE       0     0     0
          raidz1-0  ONLINE       0     0     0

            c1t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

Is it possible that it's actually making progress but not reporting it? Any way I can get further information about what's going on?

Should I be concerned about this?

  • Maybe Sun or Oracle took the time estimation formula from Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Three days later, the zfs scrub is finished. No progress was indicated until about 24 hours into the process.

  • This is normal, depending in large part on the size of the pool and available system resources.
